yeah cutting that too

Mazdaspeed RX8 ver2

i would recommend painting it black keeping with the two tone color accents that do come stock on the 8. I have a winning blue too, i was planning on painting the rear diffuser black along side with the mirror accents. it would like nice.

A.Mair

painting which part black?

Mazdaspeed RX8 ver2

the rear diffuser and the black plastic mirror accent. its easier than constantly having to polish the black plastics to keep it looking clean with the rest of the car.

A.Mair

oh i actually bought some real mesh to put there

Where did you buy it from? Rx8 strakes or is it custom?

A.Mair

i got it from custom car grills, it looks like the quality was good.
it should look something like this, of course the real thing will look better

A.Mair

i have the mazdaspeed mirrors too so there will be no black plastic visible

I think, you'll be the first with the appearance package. Most painted plastic parts that I've seen never have the appearance package on them. I'll have to see in person, let me know when you get your car back..

Suggestion, what about painting that area on the stock rear bumper the same gunmetal gray that comes as the accent color on the Mazdaspeed body parts. That's what I'm having done with my rear section, as it's cheaper (and I think better looking) than the MS rear.

A.Mair

i cant change now, its already going through. I think its going to look good, i know what you mean about the mazdaspeed bumper. Im eventually getting the knight sports kit too, so i think it should compliment that really nice, if not i will be getting the mazdaspeed bumper.
Armin yeah ill stop by your house dude and show you

Throwdown

JRichter

I hope some of you know, that's only a photoshop. The real deal should be finished soon, and he'll post better pictures of the finished product once it's done..

A.Mair

why thank you, i think the finished product will look a lot better

you mean too much blue or the blue is too blue? looking at the pic now i wish i would have lowered the saturation of the blue but it was just to get an idea thats all.
Yeah as armxn says its just a photoshop

DOMINION

Hey English dude!
If your going to paint in there next to the Exhaust best get some Exhaust Shrouds so you dont melt the paint onto your Exhaust tips!

A.Mair

oh yeah, that looks nice too

Mazdaspeed RX8 ver2

yeah, lowering the saturation would make it look a lot better. but it looks better than i expected and for a photoshop, wow, looks really good. haha

ЯX-8

Yeah, you might actually need this, especially if you drive your car hard or a long distance and your exhaust tips get hot. But, especially if you go aftermarket and the tips are 3" big, you will definitely need that!
